Historic Traces in the Area

It was once the seat of the “Lords of Schrattenberg”. The two names and its former function make the building complex a topic of interest for anyone who wants to learn about not only the landscape but also the development of the area during a trip.

The parish church of Schrattenberg is dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and is one of the few Classicist churches in the Mistelbach district. Two dates are given in connection with its construction: the newly built parish church was solemnly consecrated by Provost Mayer on 18 December 1831; 23 September 1829 is also mentioned in connection with its construction. Those interested in architectural history and regional sacred architecture will find another focus for their travel planning here.

The Schrattenberg Show Mill is also part of the cultural profile of the area. It was built as an art mill in 1921 and displays its functional structure across four levels. Together with the parish church and the former seat of power, it creates a historical arc ranging from milling technology and local history to Classicist architecture.
